Origin & diversity of the #Huns. Far-reaching genetic ties between the Mongolian steppe & Central Europe during the time of the Huns. New study @PNASNews by Guido Alberto Gnecchi-Ruscone, Zsófia Rácz, @dewawer et al. @HistoGenes tinyurl.com/59m9kvrz & doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Our latest interdisciplinary study reveals the story of East Asia meeting Europe in Lower Austria during 6th-9th centuries & their Peaceful coexistence (shared cultural feature) despite genetic difference! We reconstruct the past family pedigree inc. >450 individuals (a society!)

Comment on ancient human DNA published. Handled by our EBM @dewawer - Embracing the underlying principles and processes of informed proxy consent for human ancient DNA.@UCT_news, @UCTHealthSci, @UCT_HUB, @UCTOIC, @Yale_Anthro, @yalepeabody nature.com/articles/s4200…

The genotype data for this massive paper (440 individuals) is now available through Poseidon. Check out the package in our Archive Explorer (poseidon-adna.org/#/archive_expl…) and search for "Avar". There is a download link incl. the metadata from this paper (locations, times, etc.)

Decoding #Avar society using ancient #DNA & archaeological evidence. New paper in @Nature by a multidisciplinary team @HistoGenes, incl. @MPI_EVA_Leipzig researchers Guido Gnecchi Ruscone, Johannes Krause & @dewawer. More: tinyurl.com/2nn6b7zr & nature.com/articles/s4158…

Recommended! Academics often receive no training in reviewing. Here you can and also even as a very junior researcher, you can get reviewing experience in a top journal. I am very glad to have participated in this program in the past!

First preprint from our group, co-led by @NirajRai3 with critical contributions from co-authors from India & the US. It's been an absolute pleasure working with this team and considering sustainable and thoughtful ways of engaging with genetic & oral histories in Southwest India.

Happy that this paper can be now seen by others and that it is getting interest already! It has been a very, very long process to get here! Some results date back to my PhD (!) and over the years we have tried to integrate archaelogical info while having fun with new methods.

Happy to see this out! Emphasis on quality of the data, methods and inferences, glad to have contributed to this original work! Congrats to the lead authors @marchi_nina, Laura Winkelbach, Ilektra Schulz @Ecstasia1, Maxime Brami, Daniel Wegmann, @loronet and Joachim Burger!

So happy that the first paper from our @HistoGenes project is up! We find striking similarity of elite Avar genomic data to Northeast Asia: the historical mystery of Avar origin may be less mysterious now. Great work of Guido from our lab and many others! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
